Safest way to launch

First of all I have tried searching for this and I know launching is bad for the 5 speed.
What is the SAFEST way to launch at a dragstrip? I have a 2005 WRX wagon with 80k miles.
Any help will be appreciated, please dont tell me to search or have negative comments.
I posted it in this thread because I didnt know which category to place this in.

I wouldn't say dump it. Hold it at the catch point and once u feel it catch, release foot from clutch in a manner similar to dumping, but not just sidestepping it. If ur clutch cam catch that is. Use launch control too. What is ur with?
